Hepatic-specific gene expressions of the differentiated cells after induction for 18 days. Total RNA was isolated from MSCDHCs generated from WJMSCs-SUT1 (lane a) and WJMSCs-SUT2 (lane b) following the differentiation period, and mRNA expressions of hepatic-specific genes were analyzed by RT-PCR. HepG2 was used as positive control. GAPDH was used as an internal control.
